MILWAUKEE -Tanner Schieve (Slinger, Wis./Slinger) beat the buzzer again with a half-court shot as time expired to lead the Wisconsin Lutheran College men's basketball team to a key 73-70 NACC victory over MSOE on Wednesday night at the Kern Center. The game-winning heave is the second in as many games for the Warriors' junior guard.

THE BASICS

Final Score: Wisconsin Lutheran 73, MSOE 70

Records: Wisconsin Lutheran (10-10, 8-7 NACC), MSOE (11-9, 8-7 NACC)

Location: Kern Center, Milwaukee, Wis. | Attendance: 116

HOW IT HAPPENED

The game got off to a shaky start for the Warriors as MSOE started the game on a 7-0 run before Jake Jarnigo (Lake Mills, Wis./Lakeside Lutheran) put WLC on the board.

WLC gained its first lead of the game at 21-20 with a Schieve lay-up with 6:11 remaining in the opening half.

The Warriors went into the half trailing 34-33 after Jim Marose (Waukesha, Wis./Wisconsin Lutheran) beat the horn with a lay-up. WLC out-shot the Raiders 57.1 percent (12-for-21) to 46.4 percent (13-for-28) despite trailing at the break.

The second half remained tight, but Wisconsin Lutheran grabbed the lead 46-44 after a Collin Kennedy (Holmen, Wis./Luther) lay-in with 14:03 remaining in regulation.

The Warriors trailed by as many as six points early in the second half.

In a neck-and-neck game that featured 14 ties and nine lead changes, Marose's free throw tied the score at 70-70 with :14 seconds remaining. WLC's defense came up with critical stop on the other end of the court, forcing a missed three with :04 second left. Marose grabbed the rebound and found Schieve whose half-court heave from the left side banked in off the backboard for the game-winner.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

Collin Kennedy led all scorers in the game with 29 points and 11 rebounds. It's the ninth straight game that Kennedy has netted at least 22 points in a game.

Schieve contributed 19 points and dished out five assists, while Jarnigo added 11 points to his credit.

WLC shot 50.0 percent (27-for-64) for the game, its highest output since shooting 51.6 percent in its first meeting against MSOE on November 28. The Raiders shot 49.1 percent (26-for-53) in the game.

Although each team finished with 14 turnovers, the Warriors converted them into 18 points, compared to nine for the Raiders. A key difference for WLC was just four second-half turnovers, compared to 10 in the opening half.

The Warriors also claimed a 15-8 advantage in second-chance points.

The win was the 299th career victory for Warriors head coach Skip Noon.

The victory by the Warriors snapped a six-game losing streak at the Kern Center dating back to 2007-2008.

The Raiders were led by Austin Stueck's 22 points, with 12 points each coming from Connor Patterson and Collin Seubert.
